    Sorry guys, I couldn't post for a few days as my account went inactive!

    These will be available until the 30th of this month, and as posted above you do need to register an account to see the prices. There is no limit to how many you can buy or how many you can enter.

    It's going to be really cool to see all the cool paint jobs you guys come up with.

    Any pointers for people (like myself) that don't have a clue how to paint these things? I get a lot of emails asking me how to do it or what paints to use, but I haven't a clue. I guess an airbrush job is the best, right? But, if you don't have one what kind of paint would be best?

    One thing I used to do before I got an airbrush was buy high quality model paint. If you go somewhere that sells stuff for train sets, you can get some good paint.
    The Tamiya paints are quite good for that. http://www.tamiya.com/
    It's nice 'cuz they don't show brush strokes and have a nice bright finish.

    Thanks... I used to have some of those Tamiya paints when I was a kid. I will recommend that to those without an airbrush.

    Any other hints or tips would be appreciated. Since they have a glossy finish, is there a need to lay down some type of undercoat?

    For a lot of us, it's gonna be a first-time thing, I think. There are a bunch of different categories, so it should give some of us novices a chance. Though I know there is some insane talent out there...

    I don't know what he said to you prior but most people here are VERY opinionated, don't take it personal and don't carry on beef, its not worth it, once he produces something and posts it though feel free to call it crap hahaha most people on here have a very tough skin and can take it.

    it'll be very interesting to see what people do to this figure.

    also... being very opinionated and being responsible come hand in hand. :?
